🪐 A cosmically disruptive event! We invited Max Kidruk to discuss the colonization of Mars, space Ukrainians, and unbearably dark predictions for the 22nd century on the channel "Fantastic talk(s)" on the occasion of the release of his science fiction novel "Colony", the first book in the trilogy "New Dark Ages"! Don't miss the opportunity to ask the author about when the sequel will be released, what to expect on the presentation tour of "Colony", as well as what fantasy texts influenced the author when writing his work. 📆 Date: 29.03 📲 Time: 20:00 📖 About "Colony": 2141. Humanity on Earth has not yet recovered from the Clodis disease, which led to the largest pandemic in half a century, when a new pathogen appears that infects exclusively pregnant women. A group of immunologists are trying to find out what it is and whether its appearance is connected with neutrino flashes recorded around the planet. The population of the Martian Colonies exceeds one hundred thousand inhabitants, and a third of them are born on Mars. They lose the fight for jobs in the science-intensive economy of Mars to super-specialists from Earth and are forced to toil like slaves at low-skilled manual labor. The more of them reach adulthood, the more they crave change, not realizing that these changes threaten the very existence of the Colonies. "Colony" is the first book in the fantasy cycle "New Dark Ages" about the world in the 22nd century. This is a story about how man, despite all his achievements, does not change, and neither an increase in life expectancy nor even transformation into a two-planet species guarantees salvation for humanity. 👉 Buy the book: https://tamarinbooks.com/nashi-knygy/... 👨‍🎤 About the author: Max Kidruk is a Ukrainian writer, radio host and popularizer of science.
